The sound bath meditation in the lavender field at Vista Farms in Idaho is a serene and immersive experience that combines the healing power of sound and the soothing aroma of lavender. As you enter the tranquil setting, you are enveloped in a sea of purple lavender blooms, creating a calming and enchanting atmosphere.

The meditation begins with gentle guidance to help you relax and settle into a comfortable position among the lavender. Soft, melodic tones from crystal singing bowls and other instruments fill the air, creating a symphony of healing vibrations that resonate through your body and mind.

As the sound waves wash over you, the fragrant scent of lavender fills your senses, enhancing the overall relaxation and tranquility. The combination of sound and aroma works synergistically to promote deep relaxation, reduce stress, and restore balance to your mind, body, and spirit.

During the sound bath meditation, you can choose to lay down on a comfortable mat or sit on a cushion, allowing the soothing vibrations to pe*****te every cell of your being. The sound waves guide you into a state of deep relaxation, helping to release tension, clear energetic blockages, and promote a sense of inner peace and harmony.

Immersed in the beauty of the lavender field, surrounded by the calming scent and healing sounds, the sound bath meditation at Vista Farms in Idaho offers a unique and rejuvenating experience for those seeking inner peace, relaxation, and a deeper connection with themselves and nature.

✨STRESS & YOUR HORMONES✨⁣

⁣

I've talked about stress and your hormones before, but I'm putting extra emphasis on it since I've found that reducing stress is essential for long-term management of symptoms.⁣

⁣

You can see in this graphic that when our bodies are stressed, they are not prioritizing hormone production. In fact, it's turned off. ⁣

⁣

We produce hormones, build muscle, detox, and restore balance in the body when we are in a relaxed state. ⁣

⁣

The other important area of the stressed state is the release of cortisol. When we release cortisol, we also release glucose from our liver and cause an insulin response. ⁣

⁣

If you've been keeping up with my posts, you know that one of the driving factors of symptoms in most cases of PCOS is insulin resistance. Chronic stress can contribute to that. ⁣

⁣

So what does this mean?⁣

⁣

We all need to prioritize our stress management and actively work on reducing stressors, but it can especially benefit women with PCOS. ⁣

⁣

➡️My Top Ways To Reduce Stress:⁣

⁣

🔹Be intentional with my food choices. This means choosing foods that fulfill me mentally, physically, and emotionally and balancing my meals with protein, carb, and fat. ⁣

⁣

It also means eating enough since I often see this as a HUGE stressor for women. ⁣

⁣

🔹Getting to bed before 10 pm. This gives me time to read and get at least 7 hours of sleep, and that makes me happy and also balances blood sugar. ⁣

⁣

🔹I use my breathwork in the morning after my yoga practice or workout and at night before I sleep. This uses heart focused breathing to improve my recovery and hormone health. ⁣

⁣

🔹I put my phone away while I work and am limiting social media use so I'm not wasting my life scrolling and constantly comparing myself--yes, SM can be a stressor (this is still a work in progress 🤦🏽‍♀️).⁣

⁣

🔹Prioritizing movement breaks to get outside with my dogs throughout the day, so I'm not constantly sitting.⁣

What's your favorite way to reduce stress?

Male and female rodents have been discovered to handle the effects of sleep deprivation differently, possibly due to differing hormones.
